This cosy murder mystery series has a lovely Cornish setting, this time in a beautiful hotel. I think readers will get more enjoyment from the book if they have read at least some of the previous ones in the series. There are some very funny parts, particularly from Jodie’s mum. I did find it a bit frustrating that Jodie and Nathan kept investigating instead of enjoying their wedding weekend though!

This is one of the best books of the series. A fast paced story with twists and turns, very likeable characters, and an unusual background: an un-wedding in a swanky castle hotel. I can recommend it to everyone who likes good cozy mysteries. I look forward to the next one by the author.

The Cornish Castle Murder by Fiona Leitch is book 8 in the Nosey Parker series. It is published on 29 April. Thank you to Netgalley, One More Chapter and the author for the advance copy to read and review. This cozy mystery series is a pleasure to read. I’ve read and enjoyed them all. Jodie Parker is a former Met officer who now runs a catering business in Cornwall, and she is marrying DCI Nathan Withers. The venue has been booked – Kervoy Castle – for the weekend of festivities, including the hen and stag parties. Where the pair are involved though, nothing goes to plan. Even though Jodie is no longer a detective, she always seems to run an unofficial investigation. This is a fun read, with great characters and I love the humour which is right through the book. I also love the rapport and bond between Jodie and her daughter, Daisy.

Thanks for the advanced copy! I really enjoy the series and loved this next adventure! The setting and characters we are introduced to were memorable and enjoyable! I can’t wait to read the next! I would recommend this to both people who enjoy the series and those who enjoy a good murder mystery.

Another very enjoyable read by Leitch. In my review of the Campsite Murder, I commented that I hoped the next book wouldn't have a murder at Josie and Nathan's wedding. Leitch obviously hadn't read my comment. All the usual characters are there like old friends. The middle was a bit slow and repetitive but it was still one of the best books in that genre. It is not really a stand-alone and it would be shame to miss out several enjoyable books. Not sure where the next murder will be but, hopefully, we won't have to wait too long to find out. A christening maybe??

Jodie and Nathan's wedding has finally rolled around. But, typically, things don't go according to plan...

Absolutely fantastic. My absolute favourite series and I love the characters- the main character is the kind of woman who you want to go out for cocktails with and just generally hang out with. Have read the whole series and cannot wait for the next book.
